Chapter Seventy-Two: The Subject Nation Comes to Congratulate
In the northern part of the Bingao Country, the mighty convoy moved forward quickly, and in the center of the convoy, there was a team wearing silver armor, which was very eye-catching. The group was wrapped in armor all over their bodies, even with soft armor on their hands. They showed only a pair of piercing eyes, and watched vigilantly around them, whose duty was to guard an extremely noble carriage.
The carriage was huge, like a castle, and there were twenty-four horses pulling it. There were two people sitting in the carriage at the moment, one was the Empress of the Ice Proud Country, and the other was Duke Charles. The Muse Empress looked cold, or could not see a trace of the former brilliance. Although she was a little excited to meet the man she loved, this journey was a great shame for her and even for Alexander's royal family. For there has never been an emperor or empress who has been forced to negotiate in another country, and it is still such a humiliating matter to be ceded to land!
The cup of fresh milk on the tea table in front of the Empress had been changed three times, but the Empress had maintained almost the same posture for two hours, and she had no intention of touching the cup of fresh milk at all. Charles looked much older, and the war between the Ice Proud Kingdom and the Sauron Kingdom was very distressing for him! Now, for the sake of this war, the Ice Proud Nation may lose a large part of its land! No matter for any country, the loss of territory is an extremely humiliating thing, sorry for the ancestors, sorry for the people!
Although Charles clearly knows that agreeing to Li Yunqing's request is the best way to keep Bing Aoguo, this does not mean that he will gladly accept such a result. Looking at the empress with a blank face, Charles said softly: "Child, I advise you to eat something, although we are now very close to Daqian, but there are also seven hundred kilometers away, with our speed, it will take at least three hours." Charles changed his posture and continued: "Next, you are going to have a difficult negotiation with the emperor of Daqian, so you need to recuperate, you are really a little tired now!" ”
The Muse Empress smiled sadly, took a sip of the milk in front of her, and said indifferently: "Uncle Charles, I don't think this negotiation will be so difficult!" Didn't Li Yunqing ask for land, we promised him, as long as he could promise to help us defeat the Sauron Kingdom, everything could be negotiated. Isn't that what you taught me, Uncle Charles!"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Great Empress, but you must face the Great Qian Emperor with a full state of mind, and let him realize that although our Bingao Kingdom is in urgent need of help now, we are still strong, and our relationship with the Great Qian is equal! All you have to do now is to preserve the last glory of the Alexandria family! Charles straightened his back, his eyes blazing.
"My beautiful majesty, if you want something to eat, I asked the servant to bake bread, and fresh potato goulash!" Just as Muse was talking to Charles, the voice of the Marquis Paul came in through the car window.
Muse's face looked a little gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said to Charles with some displeasure: "Why did you agree to let this guy Paul come with me, you know that I hate him very much now!" ”
Duke Charles bent down, leaned his face closer to the muse, and also lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, you should know that Paul is the captain of your Praetorian Guard, and it is impossible for you to visit without the Praetorian Guard!" And you know, Paul is absolutely loyal to you, and your safety is well assured with him! ”
The muse lifted the curtain of the ornate carriage and immediately saw Charles's bright smiling face. Glaring at Paul fiercely, Muse lowered the curtain and continued to lower his voice and said to Charles: "But you also know that Paul has always been extremely unfriendly to Emperor Daqian, oh, what, I can feel that he has an extremely strong killing intent towards Emperor Daqian!" The muse showed a look of horror on her face at this point, and her voice trembled a little: "If he does anything crazy to Li Yunqing, then our negotiation this time will be a complete failure!" In fact, Muse also thought in his heart that if Paul was not good for Li Yunqing, then Li Yunqing would definitely hate himself even more, and his unbloomed love would die at that time!
When Duke Charles heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "My esteemed majesty, if Paul really dares to do something that should not be done to the supreme emperor, then please rest assured, I guarantee that he has been killed by Jin Wuwei in the process of attacking, and you should also know what Jin Wuwei is." Although unwilling to admit it, your Praetorian Guard has little chance of victory in front of Jin Wuwei! Because there is something called martial arts in Daqian, which is a very magical thing! ”
When the empress heard Charles say this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, but I promise you, if he dares to be unfavorable to Li Yunqing, the first person to do it will not be Jin Wuwei, I will personally kill that idiot!" ”
…………
Although the fifth day of the Lunar New Year has passed, the festive atmosphere of Tai'an City has not weakened in the slightest. The streets are still very lively, full of hawkers, and all kinds of shops on both sides of the street are full of people. The five gates of the south gate of Qianchang Palace were wide open, and the five city gates, including the Canglong Gate, kept being entered. According to the Great Cadre system, the three days after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year are the days when the lord of the subject country comes to congratulate!
Above the palace court, Li Yunqing sat under the canopy, on the dragon chair, looking at the lords of the countries standing neatly in the square, with a smile on his face, only listening to his loud voice: "The envoys have come from afar, I am really happy!" Since the founding of the country, all countries have been very friendly with the great cadres, and I hereby promise that in the future, the great cadres will still do their best to do what the suzerainty should do and fulfill the obligations that the suzerainty should fulfill! ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The lords of the thirteen subject countries on the square knelt down and saluted, and the sound of long live the mountain resounded throughout the white jade square!
Since the founding of the Great Qian, there have been 15 subject states, and the incorporation of Huluo into the Great Qian has greatly deterred these subject states, making these countries even more awe-inspiring and pious towards the Great Qian, for fear that Emperor Longwu will not be happy to annex his own country. Now the remaining fourteen subject countries, except for Haixin Country, which did not come to the court, all thirteen subject countries have arrived!
I only heard the respectful voice of Ruan Siping, the lord of Nanping Kingdom: "Long live my emperor, the minister Ruan Siping has been deeply favored by the emperor for decades, and the Taizu Taizong has a grand reward for my Nanping country, and the ministers and the Ruan family have a great sense of guilt!" The minister hereby swears by the spirit of the ancestors of the Ruan clan that the Nguyen clan will always be loyal to the Daqian Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor! ”
Li Yunqing nodded, and said softly: "Nanping Kingdom has always been loyal and obedient, and I know it in my heart. I have heard that you have now used the Daqian coins in Nanping, which is very good, and it will be more convenient for the two countries to trade. ”
Ruan Siping's face was respectful, his smile was even brighter, and he nodded again and again: "The Daqian coins have been circulated, and the ministers are just taking advantage of the trend, in fact, as long as the people are happy, it is good to use it conveniently." ”
Duan Mingli, the head of the Dongyue Kingdom, also respectfully said to Li Yunqing: "Your Majesty, my Dongyue Kingdom is the same as the Nanping Kingdom, and my loyalty to the Great Cadres will never change!" Looking at the lord of the subject country beside him, Duan Mingli changed his words and continued: "The minister has something to tell the emperor!" ”
